If President Joe Biden is taken off the top of the presidential ballot and replaced with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, there are two names that should play a prominent part in the 2024 campaign: Patricia McKay and Will O’Neill.
McKay, 68, was a New Zealand woman and tourist who was killed in broad daylight outside of a mall in Orange County, California on Tuesday, allegedly by a group of armed robbers who shot at her and then killed her by running her over with their car.
O’Neill is the Republican mayor of the city where she was killed. However, he reminded everyone that this was what was happening in “every community.”
That much is true — at least in the state of California, where violent and property crime are both up.
According to KCAL-TV, the Newport Police Department said the killing took place at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach.
McKay and her husband, both from New Zealand, were robbed outside the mall’s Barnes & Noble by two men. The U.K.’s Daily Mail reported there was a “struggle” between the couple and attackers, with one of them firing several rounds from his handgun.
“The woman was then dragged into the parking lot as the two men got into a Toyota Camry being driven by a third man,” the outlet reported.
“The suspects then ran over McKay as they drove away from the scene, firing shots as they led the police on a high-speed chase, Newport Beach Police Sgt. Steve Oberon told DailyMail.com.”

It’s very scary. I’ve been to that Barnes & Noble at Fashion Island many times. Victim could have been me.
The reason this is news is because this kind of thing never happens in OC, after all you never see front page news articles about shootings in south side chicago because that stuff is not news, it happens every day
There has been a massive influx of Asians and Hispanics into Orange County, i.e. rich Democrats and poor Democrats. The Vietnamese are the only reliable Asian Republicans in the county but are far outnumbered by the Asians in the tech business who vote Democrat for the same self-defeating reasons as liberal Jews.
“KABC-TV reported the suspects were identified as Jaden Cunningham, 18, of Lancaster, Malachi Eddward Darnell, 18, of Los Angeles, and Leroyernest Joseph McCrary, 26, of Compton, who were in custody as of Wednesday.”
I think I’d sooner take my chances with gorillas.

Tourists are great targets because they are rarely armed.
The dems will be extra dimmy if they end up running the governor from that failed state.
Trump would have a hey day with it.
68 is elderly? 😳
Pretty sad, you’re on vacation in the LA from New Zealand, then go to an upscale mall where you and your husband get robbed, and the wife is ran over and killed on the spot. All in broad daylight.
What a horrific scene for the husband.
er LA area~
Hope you reform from being a literate book lover at a brick and mortar book store (like me). Only kidding.

From City Journal Dec.7, 2023 when Newsom debated DeSantis.
“We’re near 50-year lows . . . [in] violent crimes in the state of California,” Newsom claimed during the debate. In truth, California’s violent crime rate is at a ten-year high—and rising. That’s the verdict of both the FBI’s and the Golden State’s own statistics.
Meanwhile, according to both FBI and Florida statistics, the Sunshine State’s violent crime rate is down substantially from a decade ago, with the two lowest rates registered in the two most recent years with available data.”
Didn’t engage in going late at night without anyone around to a high crime dangerous neighborhood street or a dark car parking area or have ear buds in listening to loud music with no awareness of surroundings.
Just normal life in broad daylight in a shopping mall by a 68 year old.
From New Zealand. Next time go to Haiti or a crossfire area of the Gaza Strip. Safer.
